Astaxanthin Research

Astaxanthin (pronounced "asta-ZAN-thin") is a naturally-occurring chemical compound
found in algae, shellfish and salmon. For humans, astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant
with broad health implications.

Aids in the Fight Against Fatigue

Astaxanthin provides excellent recovery from exercise. Just like salmon making the
brave upstream swim, astaxanthin can help athletes put forth their best effort.
Pure, natural astaxanthin has been showed to be beneficial for recovery of muscles,
better endurance, enhanced strength and improved energy levels.

Helps Relieve Pain and Inflammation

Astaxanthin is a potent anti-inflammatory and pain reliever, blocking different
chemicals in your body that make you shout "ouch!" More than that, astaxanthin reduces
the inflammatory compounds that drive many chronic diseases.

Beautiful Skin

Astaxanthin has been shown to protect the body's largest organ, the skin. The studies
are clear and consistent and show excellent results for helping with skin moisture
levels, fine lines, smoothness, elasticity, freckles and spots.

Powerful Antioxidant

Natural astaxanthin is an incredibly powerful antioxidant. A 2007 study analyzed
several popular antioxidants and their antioxidant power. This study found astaxanthin
was 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C, 800 times stronger than CoQ10, 550 times
stronger than green tea catechins and 75 times stronger than alpha lipoic acid.
